Image
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
Image
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
Image
I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.
Albert Camus
Image
Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a telegram from the home: 'Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.' That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.
Albert Camus
Image
We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
Albert Camus

After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
Image
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
Image
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Image
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.
Albert Camus
Image
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
Image
If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of acompletely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
Image
How hard it is, how bitter it is to become a man!
Albert Camus
Image
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
Albert Camus
